This site will mostly be for lead capture (collecting email addresses) to send additional content and progress updates to. Registered users (authenticated users) will see value added content. 1. Do all authentication providers capture user email addresses?
2. Does Google Analytics, if installed on site, capture who logs in which way?
3. Does each one get other user demographics and create a DNN user profile? Like name? Country? etc? 4. Once they sign in with OAuth -- do they also have a DNN profile they can login with? Like with their email address as username? (Can they reset their password? Register again with the same email address?) 5. I want to setup -- if they don't use OAuth, that they must use an email address as their username. Is this a bad practice?
1. Yes. Ifyou use FB or Google or whatever, that provider needs your login and therefore your email address. If you use the DNN provider, it also needs your email for resetting passwords etc
2. Google Analytics by default does not store the role you have in DNN. If there are pages that are restricted to a certain role, you can find the pageviews in Google analytics. If you do wish to log how many times a certain role is used to login, you might want to use google tag manager and customize the authentication including firing data to analytics upon the login action.
3. a DNN login will be created. Quite a detailed explanation can be found here: https://github.com/BarryW...ko/Auth0_DnnProvider
4. That I never tried, actually. You might to want to get in touch with Barry or someone else from Glanton, who created this Auth0 provider.
5. use an email address is not a bad practise AFAIK. I have multiple sites running that way without issues.
Hi TechieMD, In case if you will try use 'Auth0 Connector' from https://github.com/BarryW...ko/Auth0_DnnProvider Once user will sign-in, his profile in DNN will be automatically created. Some fields are mandatory like username, email address. It's easy to add more properties to the sync list like country, street address, etc. By default email address should be unique across all users stored in DNN database. Duplicated emails are bad practice that usually leads to difficult to locate issues. Auth0 allows password reset too. It will simply redirect user to the Identity Provider (Google, Facebook, etc) where this task will be handled. Password is never stored in DNN database.
